Overview
Moving from Goals.com to Odoo CRM is a structural migration from a flat, goal-centric sales tool to a modular ERP-adjacent CRM. Goals.com stores leads, deals, and goal targets in a single flat namespace with no documented public API; Odoo CRM uses a relational model with Leads, Opportunities, Contacts, and Activities linked through typed database relationships. We extract Goals.com data through custom export routines that work around the absence of official API endpoints, map each record type to the correct Odoo model (crm.lead for Leads, crm.lead for Opportunities after stage differentiation, res.partner for Contacts), and use Odoo's XML/CSV import mechanism to load data in dependency order. Commission records and sales goal definitions require custom fields in Odoo because neither is a native CRM object. Sales contest logic and active scoring rules do not transfer; we deliver a written contest schema template for manual rebuild. Workflow-style automation in Goals.com does not map to Odoo Automations or Server Actions; we document the existing automation logic for the customer's admin to rebuild using Odoo's Workflow Engine or Studio.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Goals.com object lands in Odoo CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Goals.com
Lead
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1Goals.com leads (inquiry captures, filtered and graded prospects) map to Odoo crm.lead records in Lead stage. The Goals.com lead generation source (inbound inquiry, filtered, graded) migrates as a custom selection field on crm.lead because Odoo does not have an equivalent lead grading concept. We preserve Goals.com lead owner assignment as crm.lead.user_id by resolving the email match to an Odoo res.users record. Grading scores and source attribution become custom Char or Float fields on the crm.lead model.
Goals.com
Deal
Odoo CRM
crm.lead (Opportunity mode)
1:1Goals.com Deal records map to Odoo crm.lead records in Opportunity mode (type='opportunity'). The Goals.com dealstage property maps to crm.lead.stage_id by matching stage names against Odoo's CRM Stage configuration. Deal value, expected close date, and owner migrate to planned_revenue, date_deadline, and user_id respectively. We set crm.lead.type='opportunity' for all Deals and type='lead' for all Leads so Odoo's pipeline kanban view reflects the correct record grouping.
Goals.com
Pipeline Stage
Odoo CRM
crm.stage
lossyGoals.com pipeline stages (standard pipeline movement states) map to crm.stage records within the appropriate Odoo crm.team. We create stages in Odoo matching the Goals.com stage labels and assign probability percentages based on the Goals.com stage configuration. Stage order is preserved by setting sequence values. If Goals.com uses custom stage names, we create matching Odoo stages rather than renaming to Odoo defaults to preserve reporting continuity.
Goals.com
Sales Goal
Odoo CRM
Custom float fields on crm.lead or project.task
lossyGoals.com Sales Goals (call volume, email count, and revenue targets per rep or team) have no native Odoo CRM equivalent. We offer two migration paths: (1) create custom float fields on crm.lead (target_calls__c, target_emails__c, target_revenue__c) and link goals to the assigned sales rep as a linked record, or (2) create Project tasks with target values linked to the Goals.com rep as a project assignee. The customer chooses during scoping. Progress percentages are recalculated post-import using Odoo computed fields.
Goals.com
Commission
Odoo CRM
Custom fields on crm.lead + res.users
lossyGoals.com commission records (payout amounts, calculation basis, rep attribution) do not map to a native Odoo object. We create custom decimal fields on crm.lead (commission_amount__c, commission_basis__c) and optionally on res.users (commission_rate__c) to preserve historical commission data. Active payout rules and scoring logic do not transfer; we deliver a commission schema template specifying fields, formulas, and Odoo Payroll/HR configuration steps for manual rebuild.
Goals.com
User Account
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Goals.com user accounts with role assignments (manager vs rep) map to Odoo res.users. We resolve by email match. Goals.com manager/rep roles map to Odoo access groups: managers receive CRM Group: User: All Leads, and reps receive CRM Group: User: Own Leads. Territory and region assignments from Goals.com become custom Char fields on res.users or are mapped to crm.team membership depending on the customer's team structure.
Goals.com
Activity Tracking
Odoo CRM
crm.lead.activity
1:1Goals.com notes, reminders, and customer interactions map to Odoo crm.lead.activity records (the next activity system on crm.lead). Each Goals.com activity becomes a mail.message or crm.lead.activity with activity_type_id, note, and date_deadline preserved. Goals.com activity timestamps map to crm.lead.activity.date_deadline. Full historical audit trails (every system event) are not available from Goals.com; we migrate the accessible activity log entries and flag any gaps in the reconciliation report.
Goals.com
Team Management
Odoo CRM
crm.team + res.groups
1:1Goals.com team structures for performance visibility and contests map to Odoo crm.team records and res.groups. Team membership is preserved as crm.team member assignments on res.users. Sales managers from Goals.com become crm.team leader assignments. Contest group logic (how teams compete) is not a native Odoo feature; we map team membership only and flag contest structure for manual rebuild or third-party gamification apps.
Goals.com
Sales Contest
Odoo CRM
Custom fields + contest schema template
lossyGoals.com contest configurations (active scoring rules, point allocations, leaderboard logic) are stored as application rules rather than data records. We export historical contest results and performance scores as CSV data preserved in a custom Odoo model (contest_result__c) with fields for contest name, period, rep, points, and rank. Active contest rules and leaderboard logic cannot transfer; we deliver a written contest schema template listing all extracted fields, the Odoo custom model definition, and step-by-step Studio configuration for rebuilding active contests.
Goals.com
Attachment
Odoo CRM
ir.attachment
1:1Goals.com file attachments associated with deals, contacts, or activities map to Odoo ir.attachment records linked to the corresponding crm.lead or res.partner via res_model and res_id. We export attachment content and filename, create ir.attachment records with the correct model reference, and store binary content in Odoo's filestore. Large binary attachments (over 10MB) may require separate file transfer outside the standard Odoo import mechanism.
Goals.com
Company/Account
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Goals.com does not have a distinct Company object separate from contacts; the company context is embedded in deal and lead records. We create Odoo res.partner records in partner_type='company' for each unique company name encountered in Goals.com deals and leads, then link the corresponding contact-level res.partner records (type='contact') as children of the company record. This establishes the Odoo standard partner hierarchy.
Goals.com
Contest Leaderboard
Odoo CRM
Custom contest_result__c model
lossyHistorical Goals.com leaderboard snapshots (rep rankings, point totals, period dates) migrate to a custom Odoo model (contest_result__c) created during migration. Fields include contest_name, period_start, period_end, user_id, total_points, and rank. This data preserves historical performance records but does not recreate the live leaderboard functionality, which requires Odoo automation rules or a gamification app post-migration.

Migration approach
Discovery and Goals.com data extraction
We audit Goals.com across all active record types (Leads, Deals, Sales Goals, Commissions, Users, Teams, Activities, Attachments) and generate custom export routines to extract data despite the absence of a public API. We document the Goals.com stage names, user roles, team structures, and any custom field labels in use. The customer receives a data extraction checklist and manually verifies record counts against the Goals.com UI before we proceed. We pair this with an Odoo environment assessment: Community (self-hosted), Odoo.sh Cloud, or Enterprise edition, and identify which Odoo apps are active (CRM only vs CRM + Accounting + Project).
Odoo schema design and custom field provisioning
We design the destination Odoo CRM schema. This includes configuring crm.team records for each Goals.com team, setting up crm.stage records matching Goals.com pipeline stages with probability percentages, creating the res.partner company hierarchy from extracted company names, provisioning custom fields (commission fields on crm.lead, target fields on crm.lead or res.users, Goals.com source/grading fields), and configuring Odoo user access groups matching Goals.com manager/rep role assignments. Schema is built in a staging Odoo environment (Odoo.sh sandbox or local Community instance) before production import.
Data pre-processing and normalization
We pre-process all Goals.com exports: normalize date formats to ISO 8601, resolve email-to-user mapping for Owner fields, deduplicate company names, normalize stage labels, and create the partner hierarchy (parent res.partner for companies, child res.partner for contacts). We split Goals.com Deals into crm.lead records with type='opportunity' and Leads into crm.lead records with type='lead' using Goals.com record type indicators. Any commission data, goal data, or contest historical data is extracted into separate CSV files mapped to the custom Odoo fields and models created in Step 2.
Staging import and reconciliation
We run a full import into the staging Odoo environment using Odoo's native CSV/XML import mechanism for standard records and a custom XMLRPC or CSV load script for custom model data. The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks 25-50 records against Goals.com source data, and validates that pipeline stage distribution, user assignments, and activity timestamps are correct. Any mapping corrections (field name mismatches, stage label errors, missing required fields) are resolved in staging before production import begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: res.partner company records first, res.partner contact records second (with parent_id resolved to company), crm.lead Leads (type='lead'), crm.lead Opportunities (type='opportunity' from Deals with stage_id and user_id resolved), custom field data (commission, goal targets), activity history (mail.message and crm.activity records), crm.team assignments, and ir.attachment records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. User provisioning is validated before any record import that references an Owner field.
Cutover, validation, and contest/automation handoff
We freeze Goals.com write access during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Odoo CRM as the system of record. We deliver the commission schema template and contest schema documentation to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any record linkage issues or data quality flags raised by the team. We do not rebuild Goals.com automation logic or active contest rules inside the migration scope; those require Odoo automation rule configuration or a gamification app and are documented separately for the admin team to implement.
